Ooh, an oil thread ... luvverly! :lol
Semi-synth or fully synth, either will be good. I favour the fully synth flavour, personally, but that's mainly because I live in a hot climate.
Bike-specific takes out the element of uncertainty if you're not sure about auto oil additives affecting the clutch. Again, I use an auto oil but I'm sure enough of the content not to be concerned about clutch slip. On my part of the planet (must try that satnav thing ...
) bike-specific oils are about 3 to 4 times the price of auto oil!
